Yeah, I've saw that. It looks neat, but on the other hand I'm not sure how good the tablet portion will be with Windows 7 in terms of ease of use, ease of writing with stylus, battery life etc.

And as I don't need a keyboard (or netbook in general) that part doesn't add much for me.

Really what I need is something like the Que that doesn't have an e-ink screen, costs $500 or less, and gets 8-10 hours of battery life in standard use (reading and marking up stuff).
